Book Overview
The Tailors, Or Quadrupeds: A Tragedy For Warm Weather In Three Acts is a play written by Samuel Foote. The story revolves around a group of tailors who are transformed into animals due to their greed and selfishness. The play is set in a hot summer day, and the characters are all dressed in light clothing. The first act introduces the tailors and their arrogant behavior towards their customers. In the second act, they are cursed by a mysterious stranger and transformed into different animals, including a donkey, a monkey, and a bear. The third act depicts the tailors' struggle to cope with their new bodies and their eventual redemption. The play is a satire on human behavior and the consequences of greed and selfishness. It was first performed in 1766 and has since been adapted into various forms of media.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
